Change a Firewall Policy

Change the information for a firewall policy in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.

You can't change a firewall policy that's associated with a firewall. To change a policy that's associated with a firewall, do one of the following:

Associate the firewall with a different policy, change the original policy, and then associate the original policy with the firewall again.
Clone a firewall policy, and change the policy during the cloning process. Then, change a firewall to associate it with the new policy.

Important

When you make the following changes, the update causes a connection reset in any associated firewall:

Updating mapped secret information in a policy associated with a firewall.
Changing the firewall policy to one that uses different mapped secret information than the current policy.

Editing other types of information in the associated policy does not result in a connection reset.

1. Open the navigation menu, and select Identity & Security. Under Firewalls, select Network Firewall policies.
2. Select the compartment that contains the policy that you want to edit.
3. Select the policy.
